Born on November 19, 1944, in Rochester, New York, Judy lived a life marked by devotion to her family, service to her community, and a vibrant creative spirit. In August 1963, she married the love of her life, Joseph William Laskowski. As a proud military spouse, she spent many years traveling alongside Joseph during his dedicated service in the United States Air Force. The military eventually stationed the family at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, where they planted deep roots and lovingly raised their three children.

Judy was a woman of many remarkable talents. As an artisan crafter, she brought beauty into the world through dressmaking, baking, and various artistic pursuits. She found great joy not only in creating but also in teaching and sharing her crafts with others. Beyond her artistic endeavors, Judy possessed a strong spirit of public service, serving her community with honor and dedication as a deputy sheriff for Tarrant County until her retirement in 2010.

A multi-faceted, caring, and deeply compassionate woman, Judy was loved by many and left an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Joseph William Laskowski and her parents.

Judy’s legacy of love lives on through her surviving family, including her sister, Beverly Van Lare of Fort Worth; her three children, Richard Laskowski of Fort Worth, Danielle Laskowski Tanner and her husband, Beau, of Brock, Texas, and Brian Laskowski and Kelly Ford of Azle. She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren, Ava and Cotton Tanner of Brock, and Nathan Laskowski and Brenda Laskowski; as well as four adored great-grandchildren.

She will be dearly missed, proudly remembered, and always loved.
